Side launch of the Roy A. Jodrey in the Collingwood Shipyards, film courtesy of Mitch Dance. All formats of film and video transfered to DVD at www.film2dvd.ca 220 Huontario St. Collingwood Ontario
@GreatLakesShips I was there for that in '85 but they were only letting friends and family of the shipyard workers in to watch. We heard a lot of banging then a splash. It was kind of a non-event.
my father's side of the family proudly built and launched many of the ships from the yards and feel proud your video is there to show his efforts..From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!!
I Find it sad that collingwood has stoped launghing boats now the shipyards are turning into places where they are building condos its a shame , like i am 16 and i only wish i could se a boat launch man that would be a thril my father has seen all of them since 1960 and he told me that thay were amazing
I guess one must be careful to measure those dock lines correctly, otherwise it hits the opposing side!
